As there was no copy of the laws OF

discover that there was law making
it misdemeanor for parties to cOngre-

places on election day. In 80 peacea-
BILE town as lola, however, it makes
little difference whether such law is
enforced or not.

Little Leveues Bostwick met with
a severe and nearly fatal accident Mon
day morning. His father had recent
ly bought COW and calf and the boy
went to the yard to drive the calf out |
when the COW attacked him viciously
her horns penetrating his groin and
thigh and making ugly wounds. The
boy was also hit upon the head and
was insensible when found by the
family perhaps half an hour after the
attack was made. As may we'll be
imagined the wounds are extremity
painful, but as no vital parts are in
jured the patient will doubtless recov-
er.
Arrangements have finally been
between the Carriage Com
pany and the Gas Company for the
sinking of well on the grounds of the
former and work will be commenced
as soon As the machinery can be re-
moved and workmen engaged. The
we'll will be located west of the south
end of the main building, and the
work will be pushed as rapidly as
possible. The result of il will be
awaited with much interest for if gas
is found at so great distance from the
other wells there will no longer be
any question that by sinking enough
wells it can be procured in inexhaust-
ible quantity.
Those festive Indian ponies of Asa
Jones, led their master another weary
chase Monday morning. He had
hitched them up to drive into the
country and after getting into the
buggy, he discovered something
wrong with the harness which he got
out to remedy, leaving the lines loose.
But the ponies did not approve of this
delay. When they got ready to go to
the country they wanted to go and if
Mr.. Jones wasn't ready it was not
their fault. So they went. Asa put
on look of resignation and a pair of
stoga boots and followed after, finding
them waiting for him some two or
three miles out of town.
